Insomnia is a truly independent animation open-air festival which takes place in the Russian countryside, 200 km from Moscow to the south.

It is located on a big and fantastically nice meadow surrounded by the forest, near the small river Ugra. We show the animation competition on two huge screens during the nights. During the days you can enjoy other festival activities like lectures, live music concerts, performances, a craft market and art-installations. There is also a play zone for children with attractions and an animation program, and an international competition
